I was shocked with his defense last night PAC never got hit in the middle of thering when the fight was in neutral..Only time he got hit was when he tried to aggress taking 1 in order to land 2. I lost my head in a few rounds, said a somber Barrera, whose record now stands at a still-impressive 63-6 (42). I shouldnt have lost my head and fought the way I did a few times, I should have boxed more. My corner told me I needed to take it too him and land more punches, but [Pacquiao] had such a good defense that it was hard to do so. This is what Barrera said, I saw the fight and I was saying all along that PACs Defense was marvelous. It was shockingly good. And to think some bitches are in denial.:-( :smoke
His defence has certainly improved no doubt, and is possibly apart of the reason why his offense didn't seem so effective either (coupled with Barrera fighting to "survive", or box, however way you look at it).
I watch the fight that your blind eye cant see. In the middle of the ring he got tagged??? Maybe when he was being agressive and brawling he did. Do you know how to watch a fight. because you are arguing with his opponent who was in the ring.. Seriously, its a dumb post...I hope you're not stupid
if mab was willing to exchange, you would have seen more of pac's lack in defense. sadly, mab didn't want to do that
as you might have noticed the pacman that we saw last night is the real pacman, stubborn and not focused... don't get me wrong, i am a pacman fan and a FILIPINO, however the sad part of yesterdays fight was that he was not listening to his coach.. he could take out barrera any time but he chose not to for reasons he alone can answer.. disgusting fight... i hope that he would be able to get his act together and balance his fighting tactics (offense and defense) not just defense!!! :fire:thumbsup
If PAC didnt engaged he would have won by a wider margin because he was out jabbing Barrera and he was still sneaking 2 or 3 lefts a round. Again the only reason Pac was getting hit was he was going in trying to make the fight exciting. In the middle of the ring MAB did not connect once but some weak jabs
did get tagged too much??? your boy said he couldnt hit him unless its during an exchange. I thought your a real Barrera fan but you disrespect his opinion? Are you a real MAB fan or a PAC hater??
Any true boxing fan cannot hate PAC. He always comes to fight, and I could tell he would gladly die in the ring for glory. But MAB created many, many openings for offensive attacks with his footwork, but could not pull the trigger often enough. Manny needs to correct his lack of balance.
You were shocked by his defense last night??? What a surprise. He did get tagged too much, and there were many openings in which Barrera failed to act as he was not fast enough or hesitated to much. Didn't you see that Barrera was trying to stay safe? It was MAB's age that showed more than anything.
Try to compare it with his previous fights and you will notice he didn't get hit half of what he used to. And everytime MAB hits him, he rolled with the punches. He bobbed more and somehow I can see a little glimpse of Toney-like defensive moves in him.
Im not hating on MAB. Theres a reason why MAB wasnt pulling the trigger. Why even engage?? Did you watch the fight. Everytime he hit PAC pac came back with two. Even a PAc hater like Stewart was calling this every minute. MAB had a plan A he didnt have any plan beyond that..Hes in there with a stronger, significantly faster fighter. Yeah PAc was open for a split, but he hit him he comes back with three..you saw it. Hes collecting 2 million why take this much risk I cannot be more honest and MAB cannot be mor honest that when the fight was in neutral a very boring fight. He coudnt hit PAC
Truthfully I saw alot of missed punches on both sides, but PAC got out of position WAY too much, and MAB would counter once or twice, but not enough to stop PAC from throwing 8 punches in return. If Manny is serious about a move to 135, he must correct his balance and defensive issues. His offensive skills will give those guys problems, but he must not take as many punches. If he gets more defensive minded, we may have a new 135lb champ.
